Nature Discovery

Step inside a magical world where younger children and their families can explore nature, from the depths of the sea to the inside of a giant tree.

You can use this gallery, aimed at 4-7 year olds, to explore our other galleries and the natural world outside. Look closely, compare things, sort things and try to name them.

Take a look at the signpost in the middle of the gallery with ideas and suggestions to help you discover nature together.

Owlwood
Imagine yourself going inside a giant tree and see the birds, mammals and insects that live in the woods. Count the rings on a tree that lived for over a thousand years.

Oceandeep
See the amazing animals that live deep beneath the sea - strange fish, giant sponges and beautiful shells.

Flowermeadow
Move like an insect between the colourful models of plants and flowers
